Well, this is all very well for the Irish of South Armargh. But, what about the Irish of Birmingham, London, Manchester and Liverpool, where is the plan to liberate them from English oppression? If 'Ireland for the Irish' is worth blowing-up English children, how could you possibly complain if the English decide to made it compulsory ? Since we English are all scum, isn't quite likely that we will exercise our right to deport enermy aliens ? Do you have any plans to feed and house 2 million returning hungry refugees, now that the famine is over?
Is it any wonder nobody wants NI? |

Northern Irelands beautiful, but its not worth absorbing so many arseholes.
Love the generalisation there. I live in the North, and I know many people in the South who are idiots. Who have a totally warped perception of the North.
So, do you oppose the idea of a United Ireland, then? For that to happen you may have to 'absorb so many arseholes'.
So many people base their opinion on the people from the 6counties on what they see on the News, which makes them quite ignorant to what people are really like. |

Its a very interesting proposal, but alas the wrong one. Militancy has been proven not to work. Most historians who have studied the Irish situation agree that Home Rule and constitutionalist nationalism would have brought a 32 county republic about. The Unionists marching through Dublin represented a huge step in the procurement of a united Ireland but unfortunately a few dogmatic republicans had their ranks swelled by scangers, and have set the unification movement back another decade or so.
There are two major pathways to unification:
1) European integration
2) Demographics
1) As Europe is becoming more and more borderless, the old borders of north and south will fissle out. In the eventuality of a EU superstate, Ireland could easily become one federal state governed locally by Dublin.
2) Catholics have bigger families than Unionists. Give it twenty years :) |
